speaking and thinking outloud for a moment, some folks have microwave or other \
wireless bridges as well that may cause a LAN to span at least a few ms end-to-end in \
the same broadcast domain, I would imagine the wired hosts would also benefit from \
this.

Not everyone is using a fancy switch or hardware in this type of environment, so \
anything within the layer-2 domain will need to interop reasonably.

PS. Good news is many devices, eg: iPhone, get software or hardware upgrades a few \
times a year almost automatically by the consumers, making this much better than a PC \
                still running XP 10+ years later.
